Aren't everybody using android auto (or its Apple equivalent) these days anyway?
The builtin infotainment system is usually just a second thought that exist just to showcase something in the showroom and setup android auto at first use.
Google upgraded Android Auto to a backward incompatible version right before I bought my second hand 2016 car. The car manufacturer never upgraded the software of the car so I don't even know what Android Auto can do. But everybody has their own phone so if it's OK at home and on a bus it will be OK in a car too.
Tesla isn't. Which is really frustrating because the voice control in the Tesla does not work reliably (maybe functions 20% of the time, and that's _if_ the button on the steering wheel to start it works - usually that fails to register even before I attempt to speak to the car)
Will android auto even work wireless? Any bigger bump and it stops working, so I jut put my phone in a plastic handle that is attached to the window with a suction cup..
I don't know, GPS navigation is typically the kind of situation where I would want to keep my smartphone plugged to charge anyway. I is the biggest power sucking usage of a smartphone imho.
I assume you're using Tesla. Do you live in one of their core markets? I doubt Tesla Maps or whatever it's called holds a candle to Google Maps for non-US, non-Western Europe regions.
No, it's a Skoda. I mostly just use the navigation which is very usable, plus with a subscription you also get live traffic. There's a few things which annoy me about the infotainment but that's inherent to the whole system (like annoying popups on boot), so CarPlay doesn't fix that.
